Ahh... looks like you haven't grasped the C Preprocessor directives,
yet.  Either that, or you didn't install Allegro correctly.  

The 'implicit declaration' is a warning, telling you that the compiler
knows nothing about these allegro routines, at the time your source
calls them, so it's forced to guess.  You're lacking the line

	#include <allegro.h>

somewhere close to the beginning of the .c file. This is basic C
language, and in no way particular to RHIDE or DJGPP.
